Srinagar, Sept 08: In a significant development, Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag has successfully implanted a dual-chamber Intracardiac Defibrillator (ICD), making it the first such procedure in any new peripheral medical college in Jammu and Kashmir.
“LBB area pacing, a cutting-edge technique currently performed in only 5-10 percent of established medical colleges across India, has become a routine procedure in the institution and underscores the growing expertise at the medical college,” said Owass H Dar, senior consultant at the medical college.
He said that the pacemaker, ICD, CRT, and LBB area pacing marks the zenith of device implantation in any state of art cardiac center. He said at the medical college all the procedures are done under C-arm, as the cath lab is in the process of installation.
The procedures were conducted by a skilled team of senior cardiologists, including Dr. Syed Maqbool, Dr. Shamim Iqbal, and Dr. Showkat H. Shah, with dedicated anaesthetics and trained technicians. All cases so far were executed seamlessly, with no complications.
Prof. Dr. Rukhsana Najeeb, Principal of GMC Anantnag, highlighted that device implantations are now routinely performed by the institution’s experienced cardiologists using C-Arm technology and they are working to upgrade it further.
She said the cath lab construction is nearing completion and is expected to be operational within a few weeks, providing crucial cardiac care to the people of south Kashmir.
Dr Owass emphasized the ability to perform cardiac device implantations at GMC Anantnag saying that it has brought immense relief to local patients, who previously had to travel to GMC Srinagar or SKIMS Soura for such procedures.
“This achievement not only highlights the advancements in healthcare at GMC Anantnag but also reaffirms the institution’s commitment to providing top-tier medical services to the community,” he said.
The newly established medical college has improved its surgical and cardiac care services and is planning several other upgrades to provide relief to patients.
